Allow spot check on portal destination

Post by Pixelburner » Sat Oct 17, 2020 10:20 am

It would be nice to be able to keep tracking people across portal transitions.

Allow a spot check to detect where a character is going via a portal when within X meters of the portal. The destination could be displayed in the combat log.

Rejected, especialy for a spot check. Maybe with a certain feat or magical ability or item. But Spot is already massivly overpowered. So even if I were to agree to the idea of being able to tell to where someone has portled to (and I'm not sure on that) I'm definatly not in favour of it being a spot check.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
